Methods and systems are described for a media guidance application that enhances the viewing experiences of users consuming a sequence of media. In particular, the media guidance application may enhance the viewing experiences of users consuming a sequence of media by removing portions of redundant media that were previously consumed by the user.

Provided is a method for training a content moderation mode. The method includes extracting part of image data of a sample video file as sample image data; positioning a time point of the sample image data in the sample video file in the case that the sample image data contains offensive content; extracting salient image region data from the image data around the time point; and training the content moderation model based on the image region data and the sample image data.

The present application provides an information interaction method and apparatus, and a storage medium. In the method, a server receives an interactive video uploaded by a first user terminal, and sends the interactive video to a second user terminal. That is, in the embodiments of the present application, the video is taken as a carrier of interaction between strangers, which can bear diversified user information expressions. Moreover, the server further receives processing information for the interactive video sent by the second user terminal and/or the first user terminal, and processes the interactive video according to the processing information. That is, based on the video, friendly video interaction between strangers is realized, and social experiences of strangers in social activities are improved.

Various embodiments provide a system and methods for generating geographical models, determining geographical locations of set-top boxes using the geographical models, and modifying behavior of the set-top boxes based on their geographical locations. The set-top boxes determine their own geographical locations, regardless of whether the set-top boxes are capable of transmitting data to a content provider or include specialized equipment, such as a global positioning system, for determining geographical location.

Online sharing of media containing inappropriate-content (e.g., explicit or otherwise inappropriate content) There is provided a method for controlling or preventing dissemination of explicit images or other content that may be flagged as inappropriate. The method comprises identifying and preventing display of flagged content on a user device, the user device having an image capture component and a display component. The method comprises: providing a screen projection of at least a first image frame captured by the image capture component to the display component, analysing the screen projection to detect the presence of flagged content, and interrupting the provision of the screen projection if flagged content is detected.

The present invention relates to a method for displaying content within an electronic device. The method including the steps of: displaying part of the content; displaying an ad comprising a video; and revealing at least part of the remainder of the content once the ad has played back at least a portion of the video. A device and system are also disclosed.

An example method includes training a machine learning algorithm to detect a granular level of tags associated with a media content, receiving a request to play a user selected media content, applying the machine learning algorithm that is trained to the user selected media content to identify at least one tag of the granular level of tags associated with the user selected media content, generating a notification that reports the at least one tag and a number of occurrences of the at least one tag in the user selected media content, and transmitting the notification to an endpoint device of a user that sent the request for the user selected media content to display the notification.

An example method includes receiving a selection of a media content, applying customized parental control rules associated with a user to the media content, providing a notification to apply a parental control associated with the customized parental control rules to the media content, receiving a confirmation to apply the parental control, and controlling the media content in accordance with the parental control that is applied.
